Clough, 'probably the best- known solid tire man in the country, and a pioneer in solid construction, has been secured by the Mason Tire & Rubber Co. to take charge of the new solid tire department. Mr. Clough has resigned from the Firestone Tire Co. at Akron and will assume his new duties with the Mason at once. Mr. Clough has had long and em inently successful experience in the making of solid tires. He is respon sible to a large degree for perfecting the Firestone line of solid truck tires. In bringing a man of Mr. Clough's attainments in this branch of the tire industry to the Mason factory, the managers of the company can as sume that the new Mason truck tires will be the best that can possibly be produced. Mr. Clough was born and educated n Akron. His first position in the business world was with the B. F. Goodrich Co., where he remained five years. He later went with the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., where he was in the solid tire department. In 1905 Mr. Clough became collected with the Firestone, where he remained 13 years. For 11 years of this period he was in charge of the sol id tire department and for the past two ears has devoted himself to re search work in the developing department and laboratory. The solid tire department of the Mason is almost ready for operation. The company has been fortunate in securing rapid delivery on equip ment for manufacturing the tires nnd it is expected that the first solid tire ill be on the market in a few months. No expense is being spared to turn out the finest solid tire for every branch of service and in every size and style that can be made. Men of long nnd successful experience have been gathered together by Mr. Clough to handle the making of these tires. Only the highest grade materials will be used in Mason solids and the manufacturers confidently expect that Masons will rapidly take their place as the leading solid tires on the market. Tn a word, the Mason will begin where the old companies leave off with their new solid tire. In speaking of his new position with the Mason. Mr. Clough said: "I am enthusiastic over the splpn- did prospects of the Mason Co. The JWI LEE E. CLOUGH. Noted Humorist Here Next Week.

Many transportation problems are being solved now by the, truck, nnd fnore will be settled as time goes on. and the possibilities of the trurk's usefulness become evident to an even greater degree than at present. As the truck develops, so will the solid tire. The sale of solids will increase steadily, but the demand will center on the tire that gives max- eat, also of work.

In bringing a man of Mr. Clough's attainments in this branch of the tire industry to the Mason factory, the managers of the company can as sume that the new Mason truck tires will be the best that can possibly be produced. Mr. Clough was born and educated n Akron. His first position in the business world was with the B. F. Goodrich Co., where he remained five years. He later went with the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., where he was in the solid tire department. In 1905 Mr. Clough became collected with the Firestone, where he remained 13 years. For 11 years of this period he was in charge of the sol id tire department and for the past two ears has devoted himself to re search work in the developing department and laboratory. The solid tire department of the Mason is almost ready for operation. The company has been fortunate in securing rapid delivery on equip ment for manufacturing the tires nnd it is expected that the first solid tire ill be on the market in a few months. No expense is being spared to turn out the finest solid tire for every branch of service and in every size and style that can be made. Men of long nnd successful experience have been gathered together by Mr. Clough to handle the making of these tires. Only the highest grade materials will be used in Mason solids and the manufacturers confidently expect that Masons will rapidly take their place as the leading solid tires on the market. Tn a word, the Mason will begin where the old companies leave off with their new solid tire. In speaking of his new position with the Mason. Mr. Clough said: "I am enthusiastic over the splpn- did prospects of the Mason Co. The JWI LEE E. CLOUGH. Noted Humorist Here Next Week.

It is my compulsory, too. We get plenty to purposp to bring out a truck tire that will add to the already great reputation of the Mason name. The future of the truck is tremendous, as we all know. Many transportation problems are being solved now by the, truck, nnd fnore will be settled as time goes on. and the possibilities of the trurk's usefulness become evident to an even greater degree than at present. As the truck develops, so will the solid tire. The sale of solids will increase steadily, but the demand will center on the tire that gives max- eat, also of work. We we.re transferred from the Depot Brigade, Monday. All recruits have to go to the depot brigade for a week or two before they are assigned to permanent companies. I miss such landmarks here as Ducky Swan, Trageser, Gibson, Ott and France and the rest of the bunch whom I have known for a long while, but a man must give up a good deal who goes in the army. A man here can't order what he wants to eat for breakfast. He simply eats what they serve. A man learns to eat imu'm service.
